Ahead of the 2020-21 NBA Eastern Conference Finals’ Game 4, NIKE, Inc. has unveiled the Womens Nike Air Zoom GP Turbo HC Naomi Osaka, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s latest signature sneaker.
Akin to other recent running from Nike Basketball (i.e. Nike Dunk Low GS Split), the Milwaukee Bucks forward’s next shoe is about creating and attacking space in a new, cu5952-638 effective way. To this front, the model’s design team developed a handful of updates between the “Greek Freak’s” third and second signature sneakers. The most recent style maintains a low-top shape, but the internal set-up is also close to the ground, enabling tighter Red via closer ground-feel. As with Antetokounmpo’s previous silhouettes, the forthcoming addition includes Zoom Air units under the ball of the foot to aid in energy absorption and provide responsiveness.
“One of the hallmarks of his athleticism is transferring energy quickly from leg to leg to maneuver his body through gaps,” says Sr. Creative Director for Men’s Performance Footwear at Nike, Ross Klein. “[Giannis] also works all different angles of his foot as he’s driving to the basket, so we wanted to contour the design to fit the way he transitions from step to step.”

The new strap across the forefoot ensures his center of gravity doesn’t slide over the footbed, which is necessary for a game that relies on physical dominance and shortening the gap between body and basket with moves like the Euro step. Lastly, the multi-directional pattern on the outsole draws inspiration from past tried-and-proven Nike Basketball designs, a roster on which Giannis has unquestionably already left his mark.
